The Leicester City ace would be a useful addition to the West Bromwich Albion squad.
Baggies boss Alan Pardew will be keen on strengthening his options at the Hawthorns in January, with his side currently deeply entrenched in a relegation battle.
One particular area where the 56-year-old will want to improve upon is his attacking options, after he admitted that he needs to add more goals to his squad, as quoted by the Telegraph:
“January is not far away and we are going to have to look at that area if we can’t increase our goalscoring ratio. It’s not great and we need to improve on it.”
With this in mind, West Brom should consider a move for out-of-favour Foxes hitman Leonardo Ulloa.
Leicester rejected an offer from Sunderland, thought to be in the region of £8 million, for the 31-year-old last January, according to the Telegraph, but that was because they did not want to sell to a relegation rival.
With the Foxes currently sitting comfortably in eighth position, they would surely entertain the idea of selling the forward to the Baggies, should they come in for him.
Pardew likes to implement a high-tempo, direct brand of football, and usually has his teams set up with a physically strong centre-forward acting as the main focal point for their attacking play.
Standing at 6ft 1in, the Argentine hitman possesses all fo the attributes required to fulfil that particular role at the Hawthorns.
He is strong in the air, works tirelessly for his teammates, and is an accomplished finisher when presented with a goalscoring opportunity.
Ulloa might be heading toward the twilight of his career, but with his Premier League experience, he could turn out to be the man who makes the difference for West Brom in their fight against relegation, if Alan Pardew brings him to the Hawthorns in January.
